Commonwealth Mint was founded in 2000 by Patrick Deane and James Hughes. The company has formed a reputation for producing the highest quality proof collectible & commemorative legal tender coins. It works with several issuing authorities around the World but has expertise with the inner workings of British Overseas Territories, Crown Dependencies and British Commonwealth Members.
We currently run an efficient and stream lined operation with our hard working team of industry experts. We are particularly fortunate to name Jody Clark (sculptor of the last portrait of HM Queen Elizabeth II used on UK coins as well as the designer of the renowned Queens Beasts coins and the current UK Sovereign coin), one of the top numismatic designers in the World, as our Head of Design.
We have invested heavily in state of the art proof coin presses, laser & CNC die cutting equipment and blank prep & polishing. Our R&D work is on going and have several exciting projects that will hopefully further improve our products in the near future. We became a member of HM Precious Metals in 2022 and are encouraged to make further ambitious investments and to strive for excellence.
